How The World Began
by Catherine Trieschmann

Susan Pierce is a transplant in her rural portable-turned-classroom, teaching science to high schoolers. But when conflict over an offhand comment to her strong-willed student Micah erupts, Susan and the wider community of Plainview find themselves unable to bridge the chasm between their beliefs.

“Delicately balanced and stirring.  Rare and refreshing intelligence.”
– The New Yorker

I raved about how good this production was to friends afterwards. Every aspect was excellent: acting, direction, set and sound design, and lighting. And it's was a really well written play too!
